A giant red spoon that was stolen from a Phoenix Dairy Queen has been found, police say.
The 15-foot tall statue was snatched from a Dairy Queen near 51st Avenue and Thomas Road. The thieves took off with it sometime between the evening of Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25.
The statue has a value of over $3,500, according to Silent Witness.
Michael Foster says he was outside playing Pokémon GO on the morning of April 3 when he spotted the spoon near Marc T. Atkinson Middle School.
“It’s a great way to get out and experience some things that you may not see everyday,” he said about the game. “I have a disability. It keeps me from doing a lot of things but what keeps me out and going for my walks every morning is Pokémon GO. I go out and catch some Pokémon, battle in the gyms and get myself some exercise.”

Amongst all the doom, gloom and despondency, t's light hearted news items like this that make watching the news worth it.
Well, I would assume this is kids that were the culprits here. All I can say is kids just as if you owned that spoon if it isn’t yours, leave it alone. That’s how you become a good an respected citizen in decent society.
That truck and trailer does look familiar!
kids stole it
That's a helluva spoon to cook up some heroin 😛
They actually thought they could have a huge Dairy Queen spoon, and no one would notice. I bet they were totally surprised when they seen video of themselves on the news, stealing it. 🤦♂️😂
I am unemployed political scientist.
It looks that spoon has been abandoned on side of road.
There's a dairy queen at 51st and Thomas now?
Old west style Justice. They should just bring back the gallows
